Brief and specific description of the personal feat or merits (Medal for Bravery #1124011):
“In the fight against the German invaders, driver GLECHIK always managed to save his vehicle and the gun crew, despite most severe battle conditions and under intensive enemy fire. As any Soviet soldier, he loves his vehicle.

A maginifcent and rare set of awards with two Partisan Medals and a pre WW2 Medal for Bravery!
NB: Even though there is no hard evidence the items in this grouping belong together (the early Medal for Bravery is pre war and no documentation was found in the archives), we are confident that they do. The source we have the bar from, the consistence of the wear of the medals and the fact private Glechik joined the Red Army in 1939, all add to our firm believe.
However, if in the future the medals on this bar prove not to belong together, the buyer can always return the set for a full refund.
